Laser vibrometer for research on advanced automotive belt drive systems of micro hybrid vehicles

RTI提案的目的是支持我新获得的发现基金关于微型混合动力汽车的先进汽车皮带驱动系统的研究计划。微型混合动力汽车是最接近传统汽车的一种混合动力汽车。在微型混合动力汽车中，将引入一种先进的附件皮带驱动系统，其中交流发电机将被一种名为集成起动器-发电机(ISG)的新电子设备取代。ISG既是起动器又是发电机，取代了传统车辆中的两个独立单元。装有ISG的汽车会在怠速时自动关闭发动机，并在加速踏板被按下时迅速重新启动发动机。据估计，使用ISG可能会减少高达10%的燃料消耗，减少高达15%的二氧化碳排放。

The objective of the RTI proposal is to support my newly awarded Discovery Grant research program on advanced automotive belt drive systems of micro hybrid vehicles. Micro hybrid vehicles are a type of hybrid vehicles closest to the conventional vehicles. In micro hybrid vehicles, an advanced accessory belt drive system will be introduced in which the alternator is replaced by a new electric device called Integrated Starter-Generator (ISG). ISG functions as both a starter and a generator, replacing the two separate units in conventional vehicles. A car equipped with an ISG will automatically shut off the engine during idling and quickly restart the engine as the acceleration pedal is depressed. It is estimated that the use of ISG can potentially cut fuel consumption by up to 10% and reduce CO2 emissions by up to 15%.
